Yep...I'm riding but not pushing hard. Just taking easy rides on the flats. It's been two months since my right hip replacement. I'm still working on getting strong and working past the aches and pains that linger. It's hard to get motivated to push hard since I'll be having my left hip replaced on December 23rd. It's three days after my 60th birthday and right before Christmas. Happy birthday, Marry Christmas, Happy Holidays and whatever else.

After December 23rd the hips will be done and then it'll be time to kick recovery into gear. For now I'm just enjoying the ride and trying to keep myself in reasonable shape.

Almost every Saturday morning I spend my time as a National Park Service Volunteer at Cheeseboro Canyon. The Canyon has a great system of fire roads, perfect for a suspended trike...if I had one. Soon?

7 in the morning and I just opened the gate to the parking area. I'm the first one in. Nice!

Adventure Cycling's inaugural TransAm Bike Race. Now this is a race, unsupported, only what you can carry or pick up from local businesses along the way. It should be fun to follow. The roster for the event doesn't say what the resgistered riders will be riding. Hopefully there'll be a recumbent or two.

I live and play along the Central Coast of California. Born in 1953 (you do the math) I've had joints repaired more times then I would like to remember and a heart attack. But it hasn't stopped me. I created my blog in July of 2009 to share thoughts and information about recumbent cycling as others have shared with me. Also I take a occasional detour into family, hiking and useless musings. RIDE ON!!
